Florida Ports, Waterways & Destinations
Atlantic Coast
Delivery routes along Florida’s Atlantic Coast may include Fernandina Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Jupiter, and Palm Beach. Depending on the vessel, weather and destination, routing may follow the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), offshore Atlantic passages, or a combination of both. Inlet conditions, vessel draft, bridge openings, fuel range, marina availability, tides and seasonal weather are considered throughout the trip.
South Florida & Florida Keys
South Florida yacht deliveries may include Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Biscayne Bay, Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon and Key West. Routes through this region can involve heavily traveled ICW sections, ocean inlets, Biscayne Bay and the protected waters of the Florida Keys, with offshore options used when conditions and vessel capabilities permit. Dockage, vessel draft, bridge clearances, fuel stops, current and weather windows are factored into planning.
Gulf Coast
Florida Gulf Coast deliveries may include Marco Island, Naples, Fort Myers, Charlotte Harbor, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. Depending on the origin and destination, some vessels may travel through Lake Okeechobee, Gulf Intracoastal waterways, protected bays and sounds, or offshore Gulf routes. Draft, tides, bridge clearances, fuel range, marina availability and changing coastal weather are considered when planning Gulf Coast relocations.
Florida Yacht Delivery Route Planning
Every Florida yacht delivery is planned around the vessel, weather, tides, currents, fuel range, draft and the safest practical route. Depending on the origin and destination, routing may involve the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, offshore Atlantic passages, Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, Lake Okeechobee, Gulf Intracoastal waterways or offshore Gulf routes. Particular attention is given to inlet conditions, shoaling, bridge clearances and openings, lock schedules, tidal range, marina and fuel availability, daylight and seasonal weather. Northbound and southbound routes are adjusted as conditions develop, whether the vessel is moving within Florida or continuing along the East Coast toward Georgia, the Carolinas, the Mid-Atlantic, New York and New England.
Owner Support, Vessel Preparation & Delivery Logistics
Before departure, Atlantic Yacht Delivery works with the owner to review vessel readiness, fuel range, navigation electronics, safety equipment, dockage, crew requirements and pickup and delivery logistics. Florida deliveries may also require planning around vessel draft, shallow ICW sections, inlet conditions, bridge schedules, locks, marina availability, fuel stops, tides, currents and rapidly changing coastal weather. Clear communication before and during the trip helps keep the delivery organized while allowing the route and schedule to adjust to conditions and the needs of the vessel.
